That VCJ seller - "has been looked after and for the past 25 years has sat in my quality tin box in safe storage away from the Empire !I've owned this figure since it was bought brand new so can vouch for it's authenticity."

The audacity of it, shocking!!

You don't own your toys, you only borrow themuntil you sell them or die!

I've not seen any of the reproduction boxes up close myself, but there are plenty of posts on this Forum from people who have, and they confirm the quality of the repros really isn't all that great. They're not a patch on the original lithographed boxes, and also seem to be simply printed paper stuck onto card. As such, it should be very easy to distinguish between a real box and a repro, so if you are considering selling your item, don't let these repro efforts put you off.
